Super 8 Review

Sci-fi fantasia from J.J. Abrams underwhelms as alien takes its time to move the 'Super 8' story forward.

"Super 8," written and directed by the fantastically successful Spielberg protégé J.J. Abrams and coproduced by Spielberg himself, is a thunderously underwhelming sci-fi adventure about a bunch of middle-school classmates in 1979 whose super 8 zombie movie project gets derailed when their suburban town is invaded by an alien who takes altogether too long to make his/her/its appearance.

All in all, Super 8 was a terrific film experience, that will leave you with a smile on your face.
